March 29, 2021

Riders using the Bay Area Rapid Transit system in San Francisco will be able to read stories freely dispensed by kiosks under a partnership between the agency and Short Edition, according to a CBS SF report.

The consumer only has to hover their finger over a button to dispense a story on a recyclable receipt-like paper.

Francis Ford Coppola, the film maker, installed the first kiosk at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco's North Beach.

BART plans to create opportunities for local writers to have their work featured in the machines.
